reesetee commented on the word scustumato
A dialect version (I assume) of "scostumato," Italian for "immoral." Although I don't think that's really what my mom wanted to call us. Most likely, she was just emphasizing our utter rudeness (see maleducato). :-)

No, no "H" that I heard. Why do you ask?

Oh, not now, Pro--I'm always very well-mannered. ;-) But I may have been on occasion when I was a child.

Ah. And have you? (Curious myself now.) My mom's family hails from Abruzzo, if that's any help.

I would have guessed southern Italy, not west coast. By southern I mean south of the Rimini-La Spezia isogloss. So we're in the ballpark, er, campo di gioco.

Southern = South of La Spezia?! That's... unexpected, at least!

Even worse, she was trying to call all Italy South! :-)
